GENDER ANNOUNCEMENT...

It's a BOY!!! 

My house will now be ruled by testosterone.  Even the dog is a male!  What will I do?  But, seriously, we are ecstatic.  It is so great to finally know.  Now I can start planning.

Everything looked great!  They checked for all body parts and measured them.  So far, so good!  In fact, he is measuring a week older, which is great with me!

Tomorrow, I will be 18 weeks along.  WOW!!!

Here is a pic of our little boy's profile today.  So precious.  Oh, and I should mention that Sammy is on Cloud 9!

Profile at 18 Weeks - Boy

Belly and the "HE" Hershey's Bar to announce the sex!

Quick Update

 I went to the OBGYN today and she said we look good.  The heartbeat sounds good and I don't need to come back for 4 weeks.

Next week, I will get the Level Two Sonogram and hopefully find out what the sex is and that everything is going well.  I can't wait!

4 MONTHS!!!

Wow!  I am 4 months (16 weeks) today!  I am still amazed by this whole wonderful miracle!  I only have 5 months left.  Although that seems like a while, I realize that it has already been 4.  Well, I guess I didn't know the first month, but whatever.

Next Wed, I have my check-up appointment with my OBGYN and then, the next Thursday, I have the Level 2 Sonogram.  That is when we will hopefully find out Sweetpea's sex and get assurance that he/she is growing, as planned, and doing great! 

Apparently, Sweetpea is the size of an avocado.  Ahh, my little avocado!  I do love avocados!  Great, now I am craving something with avocado on top.

I'm also very amazed by my belly.  I just can't get over the fact that I have one.  It is so weird and awesome!

Officially in my 2nd Trimester!

Some people call your first trimester 12 weeks long; some call it 13 weeks; and, some call it 14 weeks.  So, however you look at it, as of last Friday, I can safely say that I am in my 2nd Trimester!!!  This is such an exciting milestone.

Within the last week or so, my belly has really started to pop out.  So, my mom, sister, and I went maternity clothes shopping over the weekend and had so much fun.  I got 8 maternity shirts - some for now and some for later.  Although, no luck on maternity pants, yet.

Sometimes, I still find myself  in disbelief that I am actually pregnant.  I can't believe that I will be 15 weeks this Friday!

Until next time.... (probably next week)
